Description
In the heart of the community of Upperthong, within strolling distance of the local cricket ground, local country walks and village inn, this impressive stone barn conversion is sure to please.
So too are business travellers requiring access to North East Manchester, West & South Yorkshire and Derbyshire as the local road links are numerous.
A small community within a conservation area, this particular part of Holmfirth is highly regarded and highly sought after. Walk down the hill into the town centre and enjoy the many restaurants, local shops and amenities on offer. Holmfirth is a destination for many, from homeowners, to holiday makers and those who enjoy the great outdoors.
The property boasts a unique open air courtyard off the dining kitchen and lounge balcony. A small private haven, which is perfect for people who lead busy lives and don't need or want a large garden to maintain. The property will also appeal to those buyers with older children and those seeking a lock up and leave property, as it's outdoor space largely takes care of itself.
Approached via a stone gated entrance into a driveway where one will find a generous single garage with storage, the front of the property is most impactful. A double height glazed and arched entrance offers a glimpse of what lies inside.
An entrance porch leads into a welcoming entrance hall with galleried landing over.
There is a spacious and well fitted dining kitchen with attractive kitchen cabinets, and central island with quartz worktops. Appliances include an electric oven and hob with cooker hood, and also a fridge freezer. Doors lead out into the courtyard which is ideal for alfresco dining etc. Off the hallway is a useful under-stair storage area and laundry/utility.
Also on the ground floor is the main family bathroom which has been re-fitted to a most appealing standard. In addition, there are two ground floor double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room. There is also a home office, which could be a single bedroom 5, if required, but as so may people work from home these days, it's an extra useful room.
On to the first floor, where one will find an expansive galleried landing which connects to the spacious lounge and balcony that looks into the courtyard and beyond. An inset gas fired stove adds a layer of coziness on chilly evenings.
The main bedroom is on the first floor, and this has an excellent en-suite bathroom, complete with a separate shower, and well chosen tiling. There is also another good double bedroom on this level with a range of fitted wardrobes.
As one would expect with properties of this style and type, the character and individuality of the house shines through. It certainly isn't for someone seeking a more run of the mill type of home.
